The Guardian: Gaza Has Become a Journalist’s Graveyard

the English ⁣newspaper The Guardian reports that ⁤Gaza⁤ has become a graveyard ⁢for journalists,with⁤ an ⁤unprecedented‌ number of ​journalist killings in⁤ one region worldwide.

The English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr news Agency and ⁢Al Mayadeen, reported that ‍The Guardian ‍published an article by ‍Anthony Bellanger, Secretary-General of the International Federation ​of journalists,⁣ stating that Gaza has become the most dangerous place⁢ for journalism globally. He described the ‍killing of journalists⁢ in this area ⁤as the⁢ killing of truth itself.

The ‌article states‍ that over the past ⁢two ⁣years, Gaza ‍has been ‌the deadliest place worldwide⁤ for journalistic activity.During this period, ​222 Palestinian journalists have been ‌killed by the Israeli‌ military. Bellanger ⁤described this as a ​deliberate strategy to silence witnesses ⁤and kill truth.

He added that Israel has banned ​foreign ⁣journalists ⁢from entering Gaza. This ban forces⁣ full⁣ reliance on Palestinian journalists who operate without protection and ⁤are​ frequently targeted directly.⁣ These reporters frequently‍ enough‍ cannot secure ⁢shelter even‍ for their ‌own families.

Bellanger emphasized that ‌this massacre is​ unprecedented in global⁣ journalism ⁢history. Such levels of journalist casualties⁤ have no ​parallel‌ in World War II or ⁢conflicts like Korea,⁤ vietnam,⁣ afghanistan, or Iraq.

He ⁤called Gaza the⁤ worst graveyard for‍ journalists ⁣in modern history and ⁤noted that targeting witnesses while blocking international reporters ‍aims to erase Palestinian narratives ⁣and control truth alongside stripping land and humanity​ from Gaza.

Bellanger criticized⁢ the⁣ United ⁣Nations’ failure to fulfill its responsibilities and accused major powers of‌ complicity⁢ thru silence and supplying weapons ⁣to Israel amid these killings.

He warned that surrendering or remaining silent about these crimes means victory for⁢ perpetrators. Bellanger⁣ concluded by stating that⁣ a world without⁣ free journalism would be ruled by oppressive forces shrouded in darkness.
